Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Albany, NY (KALY), launched 12:00Z, 9.1 hours before the alert went out and 85 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 3:47 PM EDT, 1 hour 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 347 PM EDT FRI JUL 6 2007 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION TONIGHT...AS A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE FAIR AND SLIGHTLY LESS HUMID CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY...AFTER ANY SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. THE HIGH WILL THEN MOVE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST FOR SUNDAY...ALLOWING HOTTER AND MORE HUMID AIR TO RETURN ON SOUTHWEST WINDS INTO MONDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... VERY BUSY AFTERNOON...WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS...SEVERAL OF WHICH HAVE CONTAINED MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL...AND ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. ABUNDANT INSTABILITY/STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...AND POTENT VORT MAX/SHORTWAVE PASSING THROUGH REGION WERE THE MAIN CULPRITS...IN ADDITION TO WEAK COLD FRONT MOVING ESE. ALTHOUGH THE MAIN SHORTWAVE WILL PASS E OF REGION THIS EVENING...POTENT UPPER LEVEL JET MAX APPROACHING FROM NW WILL PLACE REGION WITHIN LEFT EXIT REGION THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THIS...COMBINED WITH SLOW MOVING FRONT MAY PROMOTE ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/TSTMS...AS CURRENTLY SEEN OCCURRING NEAR AND NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO AS OF 1930Z. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP CHC POPS THROUGH LATE EVENING...THEN DECREASE THEM AFTER MIDNIGHT. ANY AREAS THAT RECEIVED RAINFALL TODAY WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE AREAS OF FOG ONCE AGAIN LATER TONIGHT...SOME OF WHICH MAY BECOME LOCALLY DENSE. AS FOR MIN TEMPS...GENERALLY ACCEPTED MAV MOS...WHICH BRINGS LOWER/MID 50S ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY/SOUTHERN VT...TO NEAR OR JUST OVER 60 WITHIN THE VALLEY REGIONS. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... SAT-SAT NT...DRY TO START...THEN WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR UPSTREAM SHOWER/TSTM DEVELOPMENT WITHIN INTENSIFYING WARM ADVECTIVE PATTERN FOR THE AFTERNOON. AGAIN...JET MAX APPROACHING FROM NW WILL KEEP REGION CLOSE TO...OR WITHIN LEFT EXIT REGION. THIS...COMBINED WITH INCREASING MID LEVEL INSTABILITY MAY ALLOW FOR LATE DAY SHOWERS/TSTMS...WITH BEST CHC ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY/SOUTHERN VT VERY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THUS...WILL ADD SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC POPS ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS FOR THE AFTERNOON...WITH SOUTHERN EDGE JUST S OF THE CAPITAL REGION. AS FOR MAX TEMPS...GENERALLY ACCEPTED MAV MOS. WILL THEN MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHC TO CHC POPS ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS INTO SAT NT...WITH WARM ADVECTION PERSISTING...ALONG WITH FAVORABLE JET DYNAMICS NEARBY. SUN-SUN NT...MAIN THRUST OF WARM ADVECTION WILL LIFT N OF REGION DURING SUNDAY. THUS...LITTLE IN THE WAY OF DYNAMICS WILL BE IN PLACE DURING THIS TIME FOR SHOWER/TSTM INITIATION...OTHER THAN LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY...AND POTENTIAL LAKE BREEZES. HOWEVER...SHOULD LFC REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH...AND STRENGTHENING MID LEVEL CAP...CONVECTION WOULD REMAIN LIMITED...AND CONFINED TO THE EXTREME N. WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR ISOLATED TSTMS SUN AFTERNOON...OTHERWISE WILL KEEP REST OF REGION DRY. AS FOR MAX TEMPS...WENT JUST A BIT BELOW THE MAV MOS NUMBERS...WHICH YIELDS MAXES OF 85-90 IN MOST VALLEYS...EXCEPT LOWER 90S IN THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...WITH UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... MON-MON NT...MOST 00Z/06 MREFS AND CMCEPS RUNS KEEP REGION WITHIN WARM SECTOR FOR MOST OF MONDAY. HOWEVER...00Z AND 06Z DETERMINISTIC GFS SAGS FRONT SOUTHWARD A TAD FASTER...POSSIBLY KEEPING MORE CLOUDS AND SHOWERS AROUND...AND THUS ALLOWING FOR SLIGHTLY COOLER MAX TEMPS. AT THIS TIME...WILL RETAIN A WARMER SOLUTION...WITH MAXES GENERALLY IN THE LOWER 90S WITHIN THE VALLEYS...AND 80S ELSEWHERE. WILL ALSO KEEP MENTION OF MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS/TSTMS WITH APPROACH OF COLD FRONT. TUE-WED...FOLLOWED CLOSE TO HPC GRAPHICS...WHICH ALLOWS AFOREMENTIONED FRONT TO CONTINUE SAGGING SOUTHWARD...BEFORE STALLING SOUTH OF THE REGION LATE TUE...THEN RETURNING BACK N AS A WARM FRONT BY WED. DUE TO SOME DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY AT THIS RANGE REGARDING EXACT PLACEMENT OF FRONT...WILL KEEP GENERIC CHC FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS DURING THIS PERIOD...ALTHOUGH BEST CHC WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS...ESP ON WED. SHOULD FRONT DROP FAR ENOUGH S...THEN TUE MAY ACTUALLY BE DRY...ESP ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS. EXPECT SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS THAN MON...GENERALLY IN THE 70S AND LOWER 80S. THU-THU NT...EXPECT DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO MOVE INTO THE GREAT LAKES...WITH TRAILING COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE W. WILL THEREFORE INDICATE HIGHER CHC POPS FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS. FOR MAX TEMPS...EXPECT 80S IN THE VALLEYS...AND 70S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. FRI-FRI NT...DEPENDING ON HOW FAST FRONT MOVES E/SE...IMPROVING CONDITIONS SHOULD DEVELOP. WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR SE AREAS...AND FAR NW FOR FRI...THEN FAIR AND COOLER BY FRI NT. && .AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT 4 HOURS ACROSS THE KGFL-KALB-KPOU TAF ROUTE. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES MAY DROP TO MVFR WITH TSRA. ANY CONVECTION WILL DISSIPATE QUICKLY EARLY THIS EVENING AFTER 22Z WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. EXPECT MVFR FOG TO FORM AFTER 06Z WITH IFR POSSIBLE AT KGFL UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH LIGHT WINDS. SAT AND SUN...VFR/MVFR WITH SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. MON THROUGH WED...VFR/MVFR WITH CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. && .HYDROLOGY... OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS THE AREA HAS RECEIVED NEEDED RAINFALL. THE SOUTHEASTERN CATSKILLS...MID HUDSON VALLEY INTO THE SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES AND LITCHFIELD HILLS RECEIVED THE MOST RAINFALL GENERALLY 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES.
